So I probably owe you all an explanation as to why I have been literally the worst at updating.
In case you hadn't noticed, this series overall has taken over a year to write so far. Yes, you read that right. A year. It has taken me a year to write a book and about 10 chapters (plus whatever I have prewritten on the side). That's really slow for a fanfiction, especially considering the pace I started off this website at. If you weren't around for New Feelings, I updated every day for 23 days until the book was finished. The chapters averaged around 700-1,000 words and my writing style was considerably worse, but people still seemed to enjoy it. Equinox's Revenge was a bit slower, but that was probably due to having to coordinate with the lovely modeluchosen1 and having to write about demons- something completely out of my element. I still had the type of inspiration at this point that allowed me to sit down and type up nearly any part of a chapter in one sitting.
Now as we move on to Elle VS Minecraft, things started getting troublesome. I could still type up parts of chapters with ease- mostly fluff and action- but others gave me trouble. How do I write a transition without making it seem awkward? How will this fit here? I don't know if it was because I gained awareness of what needed to be written or because I lost the instinct to naturally write these things, but I started struggling. Updates occurred every 2-3 days if I remember correctly, perhaps even more spread apart. I was still fully dedicated to my work though and I had no intent on giving up. His Bacca began and it all seemed great until I hit a dead point. I have a beginning published and I have an end, partially typed and partially planned mentally. I have no motivation or time to go about a middle, however. The task seemed impossible. I found myself apologizing every A/N for my lack of updates. Alongside all this, there were and still are a lot of personal issues going on in my life. I felt upset that I couldn't finish my story for you guys, but I wouldn't give up. I continued writing as often as I could until I finished and started the much requested sequel His Demons. This is where I moved into dangerous territory. Sequels generally don't do well in both interest from viewers and interest from me, but since I had a plot I went with it anyways. That brings us to our dilemma.
I don't really want to turn this into a discussion about my mental health, but it ties into this. School is basically making me insane. I've got lots of other issues going on. No matter how much I want to finish this sequel (and trust me, I do), my body physically won't allow me to focus for more than five minutes. I'm kind of a wreck :/ So what I have to let you guys know is this: I will be updating this as often as I physically can. I know I've told you that before, but I've never given you the written explanation. If anything I'll try to write a paragraph a day. I promise I will not leave this story unfinished, not matter how long it takes me.
If you actually read this whole thing, bless your soul :)
